Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Hamadan Persian rug showcases the timeless artistry of Persian weaving in an elegant runner format measuring 14'3" x 3'11". The rich palette of dark red, madder red, and navy blue creates a stunning foundation, while accents of crimson, black, ivory, burgundy, and blue add depth and sophistication to this exceptional piece. Dating to 40-60 years old, this runner carries the authentic patina and character that only comes with age and careful use.
From the ancient city of Hamadan in western Persia, this rug represents centuries of weaving tradition that has flourished since the Safavid era. Persian weavers in Hamadan have long been celebrated for their ability to combine durability with artistic excellence, creating rugs that serve both practical and aesthetic purposes. The region's strategic position along the Silk Road brought diverse cultural influences, which Persian artisans masterfully integrated into their distinctive weaving style while maintaining their unique regional character.
The intricate Herati (Mahi) pattern, often called the "fish design," flows throughout this runner alongside the elegant Afshan all-over motif, creating a harmonious blend of traditional Persian symbolism. The Herati pattern represents abundance and prosperity in Persian culture, while the Afshan design symbolizes the garden of paradise. These motifs have been passed down through generations of Persian master weavers, each adding their own subtle interpretation to these classical designs.
The deep crimson and navy blue foundation speaks to the Persian understanding of color psychology, creating a sense of warmth and stability that has made these hues favorites in Persian carpet weaving for millennia. The madder red derives from natural dyes that Persian weavers have perfected over centuries, while the ivory and burgundy accents provide perfect contrast to create visual depth and movement throughout the design.
At Los Angeles Home of Rugs, this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece transforms any hallway, galley kitchen, or entrance into a sophisticated space worthy of the finest Persian artistry. The runner's generous length makes it perfect for long corridors or as a dramatic accent beneath console tables, while its traditional symmetrical Ghiordes knots ensure decades of beauty and durability in your home.
